    I don't have him in my top 50. All he can do is get rebounds and play defense.

    Can't make free throws or shoot.

    He's fishing right now and Lebron isn't.. Need I say more? I'm not a huge Lebron fan either but he deserved it.

    Lebron still is the best player in the league and will get another ring this year..

    You take either player on a brand new team with the same players for example.. Bet ya the Lebron new team is better and goes deeper in the playoffs.. END OF STORY..

    The yearly head butt someone/airball a FT double should automatically disqualify him.

    Barkley is the worst 3pt shooter of all time Iverson not far behind. Iverson shot 42.5% from floor so what do you think his % on jumpers was? He definitely got some easy buckets at rim.

    Iverson was an above average shooter and a prolific scorer, what in the world are you talking about? If getting buckets at the rim is "easy" why doesn't everyone just go get easy buckets at the rim? The guy was like 5'11" and a buck-sixty, the fact that he could regularly finish at the rim is a testament to his ability.

    If only Giannis would have injured himself early in the season I could have won about 17k off my Bucks not to make playoffs prop

    If Giannis got hurt COVID would of never happened it is called the butterfly effect.

    Shaq won MVP and he could not shoot either. Giannis is a similar player

    it is what it is. this has never been a "best player in the league" award. always bet the narrative. willing to go out on a limb and say Luka collects his first next season.

    The difference between them though is if Shaq does not get a layup or dunk he hits the open man or shoots a coinflip type hook shot. If Giannis does not get a layup or dunk he gets an offensive foul or shoots a 20% fadeaway.

    Shaq was a dominant force in the halfcourt. Only guy that could stop him was a guy slightly bigger than him; Sabonis. Even double teams/ triple teams weren't enough when he got position.

    Shaq a bad apple though. Most American NBAers are. Ty Lawson got a lifetime BAN from the CBA (China league) today for misognynistic instagram posts. Turns out they're not so liberal in the East

    He's the most dominant player since Shaq. I thought he could win a title on his own but he needs a better point guard than Bledsoe
